Players construct 5-digit numbers--and
try to make them as large as they can. A player shuffles
the cards and places the deck number-side down on the playing
surface. Each player uses one row of five boxes on the game
mat--the boxes in the Ones to Ten-Thousands places.
In each round, players take turns taking
the top card from the deck and placing it on any one of their empty
boxes. They do this, in turn, five times.
At the end of each round, players read
their own numbers aloud and compare them to the other players'
numbers. The player with the largest number for the round
scores 1 point; the player with the next-larger number, 2 points;
and so on.
Players play five rounds for a
game. When all the cards in the deck are used, a player shuffles
the discards to make a new deck to finish the game. The player
with the smallest total number of points at the end of five rounds
wins the game.
